    ANTIQUE RED COLORED FACETED TRADE BEAD IN A ROUND SHAPE. THIS IS A HAND CUT EUROPEAN TRADE BEAD WHICH IS FAMOUS ALL AROUND THE BEAD WORLD. I WILL BE LISTING OTHER EXAMPLES OF COLLECTOR'S TRADE BEADS FROM MANY DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS. MANY OF THEM ARE FROM THE PAST CENTURIES OF EUROPEAN EXPANSION ESPECIALLY IN THE COASTAL CITIES. THE EUROPEANS LEARNED EARLY ON THEY COULD TAKE SAND, POTASH, AND FEW COLORING CHEMICALS AND HEAT THEM INTO GLASS BEADS. [ THIS BEAD WAS ORIGINALLY FROM EUROPE ]. THE RED COLORED BEAD WAS HARD TO MAKE BECAUSE VALUABLE METAL SALTS WERE REQUIRED TO GET THAT DEEP HUE.
